1.
If the calibration will be done at ambient conditions, the reference
temperature measurement can be taken with the probe installed in the
radiation sensor.
If the calibration is done at a temperature lower and/or higher than
ambient temperature, loosen the two screws on either side of the
temperature probe on the ambient temperature assembly and remove
the probe from the radiation shield. The reference and Sampler probe
should be banded together and immersed to the same depth in an
insulated constant temperature bath or block. Reference and Sampler
probes should be equilibrated at temperature for at least 5 minutes
before the temperature is measured.
In the Calibration menu, Scroll to Ambient Temp and press
.
2.
At the Ambient Temperature Calibration screen, use the pushbuttons
to enter the reference value in °C [°C = 5/9 x (°F - 32)], and press
to save the value. The Sampler automatically adjusts the
corresponding offset based on this input.
3.
If removed, reinstall the ambient temperature probe in the radiation
shield, and tighten the two screws on either side of the probe.
